Any recession that takes down Reader’s Digest can not be all bad. I know, we should all morn the loss of yet another newspaper/magazine. But, I’ll make an exception for Reader’s Digest. Chapter 11. So, I guess they will hang on for a little longer.
Working on a new hopeless cleanup stuff project – being sure that all the forward links on my old blog work. At this instant my old version of Dreamweaver is working fine as can be running under WINE. And, I have lots of memory on this machine – so, I can just relieve all the days of old and check and fix the links as I go… Today in 2001 Check it out.
Speaking of the recession and books. In earlier summers I was the only one at the pool with library books. Most of the kiddies read hard back books. A few paperbacks. They read the books and left them in a box in the recycle room and I would rescue them and take them to the Friends of the Library. One summer it seemed that every resident had their very own copy of the latest Harry Potter. And the girls – the latest chick lit. Hard cover. This summer it is library books or paperbacks.
Have a HUGE stack of paperwork to fill out for the urologist. Now, I know this is a paperless practice. Suppose they are going to scan my 10 pages of fine print into their system.
I mentioned that I was bribing myself into going to see the urologist. I promised myself a new toy. Possible toys:
- An additional L1 body that I can have converted to IR.
- Something from Apple’s new fall collection.
- A new travel computer.
Now, for you pessimists, what if they say “Mrs Bethany, I am sorry but your tests came back and…” (They always call you Mrs when the news is bad). Am I still going to buy new toys? You bet. The younger generation would get my toys. Carlton would get my money – and he has enough of that already! The kids would like the infrared camera or another Apple toy or two.
